Great stay

We really enjoyed our time at this property. It was spacious enough for 6 kids & 2 adults. My littles enjoyed the beach toys. Everything was wonderful, the only downside is that the balcony looks straight into the hotel in front of it. You have a view of the beach on either side but you do face into the back of the hotel. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of towels & bedding. Very comfortable stay.

Very lovely

We enjoyed our stay at this condo at the beginning of august. It’s a corner unto, so it’s a larger condo. www loved the fact that the second bedroom had its own bathroom. The condo had plenty of dishes and cookware. We had to get in touch with the host couple times and they responded very fast! Very nice place to stay. Will be coming back.

Wonderful Property; Excellent Owner

From the moment of booking, the owner was helpful and very quick to answer questions. We stay at the Sapphire every year for our family vacation and this was unanimously our favorite unit. Each member of our group (6 adults plus one 2 year old) had something they pointed out as being an upgrade over other units we’ve stayed in over the years. You immediately feel at home in this condo - it’s beautifully decorated with art and comfortable (yet also functional) furniture. It’s fully stocked with sufficient towels, linens, blankets, dishware, and cooking supplies. I normally have a hard time sleeping in beds away from home, but the mattresses here were perfect. The owner also provided a wide assortment of games and beach toys, which was great for our toddler.

Perfect VRBO

We loved this VRBO! It was the perfect place to stay in South Padre with the beautiful pool, great amenities, and direct beach access! I don’t think we will want to stay anywhere else! Communication was wonderful with the owners going above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of! Wonderful layout and breathtaking views of the ocean out of every window! We meet up with my best friend and her family every year and everyone agrees this was the best vrbo by far! We cannot wait to stay there again! Thank you for sharing your fabulous place with us!
